More DescriptionSarah Pryor has a dream as large as the vast wilderness in which she lives. She wants to be the first woman accepted into the US Cavalry. Because of her dedication and determination, she is made an honorary member of the Fourth Cavalry Unit stationed at Fort Pryor, Montana, with her father, who is commanding officer. Sarah learns firsthand about the ways of the West. Her hatred of the Indians is challenged when she falls into their hands and gets a firsthand view of their life. But it is from the heart of a renegade named Taylor Whitehawk that she learns her greatest lesson in life. That love does not care about the color of skin. Love does not always make sense. Opposites can attract, and when you find love, it can make anything seem possible. Taylor Whitehawk must choose where his loyalty lies as the West prepares for the greatest battle it will ever know. Cousin of Crazy Horse, and scout for Custer, he is a man on a mission, but one that gets out of control when he is labeled a murderer. He flees into the mountains to save himself, yet he must find a way to carry out his duty as ordered by President Grant. Half Indian and half white, he is caught between two worlds and does not fit into either. When Sarah Pryor unexpectedly falls into his life, his world turns upside down.
